Goodbye 2008

You have been especially good to me.

At the end of most years, I feel that I had some good and bad times but nothing has really changed in my life. But you were different. I will remember you as that special year when I:
Got my doctorate degree.
Published my first two academic papers.
Got my first post doc job.
Moved to a new city.
Started an almost real life with J.
Started a new blog (and even managed to complete half-century just in time!)
And last but not the least, witnessed a historical change in world politics.

I know you have not been good to everyone around the world. Apart from the illnesses, heartaches and bad lucks, a lot of people lost their lives, loved ones, jobs, possessions, rights and faith this year due to senseless terrorism, wars, natural calamities, crashing economies and other such evils.

Hope the new year brings happy changes..and only happy changes..in my life, in every one's life.

Welcome 2009!

Blocked

Need to write 2 manuscripts, 1 abstract, 1 progress report.
Can't make myself write a single word in spite of sitting at home and getting utterly bored.
Thought will try to break the writer's block by blogging.
Can't think of anything to write here either!
What's wrong with me??
